Lan Feng's idea of quietly practicing forging in the courtyard was quickly broken by a cool and turquoise petite figure.
The little girl, who hadn't seen her for a few days, rushed into the courtyard in a hurry, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Hearing the movement on the side, Lan Feng stopped his movements, looked over suspiciously, and after noticing that the little girl's mood was a little abnormal, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Xiao Nizi, is someone bullying you?" In his heart, he has long regarded the little girl as his closest relative, if someone really dares to bully the little girl, he doesn't mind teaching the other party a lesson and breathing a sigh for the little girl.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xue, who was usually lively and active, was unusually quiet today, and when she heard Lan Feng's question, she shook her head very abnormally quietly, but her eyes were a little shining.
Looking at this scene, Lan Feng's heart became even more confused, and he moved a few steps towards Yang Xue and came to his side: "What happened?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xue raised her little head, crystal tears swirled in her eyes, and finally came out of the corner of her eyes.
"Cousin Lan Feng, are you going to marry another woman?" The little lips squirmed a few times, and a glutinous voice came out of Yang Xue's mouth.
Looking at the little girl in amazement, Lan Feng's little face stiffened, and then a row of black lines appeared on his forehead: "Where did you hear these nonsense things...... I'm only sixteen years old, and I'm far from getting married. ā
Although there is no rule on how old you can get married in this continent, generally speaking, men usually do not start a family until they reach the age of 20, live separately from their parents, and some are not in a hurry even after the age of 30. There are probably two reasons for this, one is that the world is full of vitality and ordinary people generally have a longer life expectancy, and the other is because people generally hold the concept of "starting a business first, then starting a family", and are more accustomed to starting a career first, and then consider the issue of starting a family.
It is not impossible for people to get married at the age of sixteen, but it is only a very small number, and Lan Feng does not think that he will become one of them.
"But...... But ......" The young man's words made Yang Xue happy, and the crystal tears immediately stopped, but then, he swallowed and vomited, and stopped talking.
Rolling his eyes, Lan Feng said, "Just say what you have." ā
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xue bit her soft lip and said in a low voice: "But I vaguely heard in the parliament compound just now that someone wants to marry your daughter to you......"
"Little one, your peach blossoms have arrived. As soon as he heard this, the old man immediately became serious, and smiled, "If you want me to say, you should let them bring people over and choose them well, maybe there is a Peugeot beauty among them." ā
Pretending not to hear the old man's words, Lan Feng smiled bitterly and muttered, "I didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to be encountered by me." ā
Marriage is such a thing, no matter where it is, it will exist.
Because it is the simplest and most solid way to bind the interests of the two families, at least, it is very effective and simple compared to other methods, and it saves a lot of unnecessary trouble.
However, Lan Feng can't allow his marriage to be decided by others.
"What does the patriarch mean?" For Yang Xiao, Lan Feng has always been more respectful and grateful, but he is not sure whether Yang Xiao will sacrifice his feelings for the benefit of the family.
Yang Xue lowered her head slightly, and said weakly: "I didn't finish listening and ran over......"
Before Lan Feng could speak again, an old and slightly respectful voice came from outside the courtyard: "Miss Xue, Young Master Feng." ā
Turning to look at the old man, Lan Feng and Yang Xue politely called, "Fu Bo." ā
Looking at the pair of golden boys and girls in front of him, the cloudy eyes of the old man outside the courtyard suddenly lit up, and his expression was much kinder.
Walking lightly in front of Lan Feng and Yang Xue, Butler Fu Bo was as energetic as ever, his face was ruddy, and he maintained a respectful attitude: "Young Master Feng, the patriarch invites you to go to the council compound to discuss something." ā
Lan Feng and the old man glanced at each other, and then nodded at Butler Fubo: "Okay, I'll go over here." ā
With the little girl's previous "ventilation message", he had probably guessed the reason why the patriarch invited him over.
After a pause, he said to Yang Xue, "Little girl, you go back first." ā
"She's not a little girl. The soft little lips pursed, Yang Xue looked extremely unhappy, her eyelashes blinked, and her eyes rolled, "No, I want to go with Cousin Lan Feng." ā
Shrugging his shoulders, Lan Feng said indifferently: "Okay, just go, no one will stop you." ā
A moment later, the two of them followed Butler Fauber to the council compound.
As soon as the three of them walked into the courtyard, Yang Xiao, who was laughing and chatting with everyone on the steps, stopped and looked at Lan Feng with a smile: "Our little protagonist has arrived." Ladies and gentlemen, this young man is Lan Feng. ā
The eyes of everyone in the courtyard fell on the young man without exception, and their eyes lit up.
Smart eyes, delicate face, strong self-confidence, standing quietly, just this appearance and temperament, people can't help but secretly admire, if it weren't for the figure seems slightly thinner, it would be more perfect.
"What a young man. ā
"He is worthy of being a sixteen-year-old six-fold genius of the Yuan Qi Realm, and this confidence and composure are far inferior to even many adults. ā
"Looks like our trip was worth it. ā
Everyone couldn't help but secretly applaud in their hearts, and at the same time, the thoughts in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
"Come, Lan Feng, let me introduce you. He beckoned to the young man, and when the young man slowly came to his side, Yang Xiao enthusiastically introduced them one by one: "This is the patriarch of the Yeqi family, the first family in Hongye Town, Yeqihot, this is the patriarch of the Long family, one of the three major families in Shuangying Town, Long Yuanli, and this is the chief craftsman of the Shenmu Blacksmith Shop in Nanmu Town, Dorstarling......"
Every time Yang Xiao introduced someone, Lan Feng greeted him politely.
The person who was introduced looked at Lan Feng with a smile and nodded very kindly.
These are all well-known figures in the nearby towns, all of them are extraordinary in strength and prestige!
Among the nine people, six are moon-level masters, and the remaining three, one is a pharmacist, one is a craftsman, and one is a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, which is also not to be underestimated.
After being introduced by the nine people in the courtyard one by one, Yang Xiao said: "I invite you here this time because I want to ask for your opinion." ā
Obviously, with the terrifying talent displayed by Lan Feng, even Yang Xiao, the patriarch, did not dare to despise it at all, and he had to use the word "please" between his words.
Although he had already guessed Yang Xiao's question in his heart, Lan Feng still pretended not to know, and said suspiciously: "Patriarch, please speak." ā
"Several patriarchs deliberately deigned to come to our Yang family, with the intention of marrying our Yang family, and you are almost at the age of marriage, what they mean is, do you have a favorite person, if not, you may wish to consider considering the women in the pavilion of several major families......" After clarifying the theme a little, Yang Xiao stopped, as the wisest patriarch in recent years, Yang Xiao naturally would not persecute Lan Feng too much, he knew very well that if he provoked the disgust of the young man, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Yang family, so at the end of the words, he also deliberately added, "Of course, you don't have to carry any ideological baggage, all the patriarchs are reasonable people, whether you succeed or not, it depends on your will." ā
Hearing this, Lan Feng did not answer immediately, but pretended to groan.
The patriarchs, on the other hand, were slightly nervous, and their eyes were mixed with a hint of expectation, staying on the young man.
After a while, Lan Feng seemed to have gone through some deep thought, and then said very seriously: "Thank you patriarchs for your love, but it's ......"
This word "but" suddenly made everyone's mood fall to the bottom, and their eyes showed a disappointment that could not be concealed.
However, they did not interject, but quietly waited for the young man to finish speaking, as the head of the clan, they still had this quality.
"However, the younger generation is aiming for a higher and bigger stage, and he just wants to make a name for himself in the Mengwu Academy and march towards the second-level college, so he really has no intention of taking care of the private affairs of his children, let alone being distracted by these things. After a pause, Lan Feng bowed apologetically to several patriarchs, "Therefore, I am very sorry, and I hope that you will forgive the younger generations for not being able to accept this heart......"
After listening to the young man's words quietly, the old man beside him couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Beautiful! It seems that your kid is really mature, this answer is really sharp, not only rejecting them, but also holding them high, and the reason is high-sounding, so that they have no excuse to attack, it is simply impeccable......"
"Cousin Lan Feng is so powerful. Yang Xue's eyes were full of little stars, and she was excited.
Several patriarchs wanted to speak several times, but when the words came to their mouths, they swallowed back again, quite embarrassed.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Yang Xiao smiled secretly, but on the surface, he was silent, and asked for the patriarchs with a smile: "Can't you really think about it again?" If it really doesn't work, it's okay to get engaged first. ā
Lan Feng nodded solemnly: "Within ten years, I don't want to think about my children's private affairs. ā
This sentence can be regarded as completely blocking the possibility of marriage, and the attitude is also extremely resolute.
After staring at the young man for a long time, Yeqihot, who was the strongest and most powerful among the several patriarchs, first broke the stiff atmosphere and praised with a smile: "No wonder the virtuous nephew can cultivate to the sixth level of the Yuan Qi Realm at the age of sixteen, this piety and firmness in cultivation alone is inferior. That's it, the matter of marriage is over. If this incident causes the virtuous nephew to be stopped from the second-level academy in the future, then our sin will be great. ā
Yeqihot relieved himself, and the rest of the patriarchs no longer insisted, and joked one after another, never mentioning the marriage.
